If junkplay is another name for Joiplay then you are incorrect. Alot of games work just fine on Joiplay along as they don't use a unity engine and most Japanese visual novels have issues to, but ones like this one that is using a Ren'Py engine works fine. Especially when I can play this whole game with no issues except this one error that will not let me get past it to the rest of the game. And it is not just me because it has been posted multiple times by other people on here and on discord since that particular scene came to being. Byhtehog just chooses not to fix it for whatever his reason.

I mean, its an emulator. If you're using an emulator to play on unsupported hardware, that's on you. No dev is beholden to fix problems that arise from non-standard or non-supported use. If the dev wanted to support Android and released an APK version, and that had a game breaking bug? That is one thing. Bootstrapping the Win/Linux version to run on Android through emulation? That's something else. He's no more obligated to support that use case, than id Software is when someone tries to get DOOM running on an ATM for shits and giggles.

But holy shit, if this little amount of content has ballooned to 10GB, I doubt they have the technical ability to support an Android release. APK's have size limits, and while there are workarounds for them, someone who can't even figure out proper image formatting and compression probably isn't going to be able or willing to figure that out either. 10 whole fucking gigabytes and so little to show for it...

Which you are right. It just confuses me to keep it that way when you are trying to get people to pay for it. To me if all it takes is to fix one section to allow a whole new group (people who do not own a PC and is using a tablet) to be able to enjoy my game, I would fix it. But agreed, that is his decision.

I also agree on the memory part. It is always crazy to see how much memory his file takes, but then see the compared size when it is compressed. I mean over 9 GB is a crazy difference.

It's kinda crazy how despite the plot being technically the same, playing through this for the first time makes it seem like the dev got bored or stop caring about the mafia plot and pivoted to a high school one.

Also I don't really understand why the MC would go along with the cop so easily, the Mob Boss has done you no wrong at the point in the game when her quest starts.

As far as I remember, in the early versions there was a choice: to help Clarice or to betray her. Perhaps the point is that the mafia is bad in itself ;)

True, and you see that a lot. It's no rocket science to compress images with no visible quality loss and yet devs release bloated games.
But thankfully there are heros out there who do that job.

Kinda meh update, Aiden won the school antagonist poll yet there's still the black guy. Two NTR bulls dilutes the impact imo, they basically cucking each other as well as the MC. Also nothing deflates buildup like condom usage.
